I'm three behind including today (so really only two behind if I'm being kind to myself).

I've not done the photo-less or imperfect challenges yet. I'm cogitating!

For the first I have the idea but the journaling is going to take a lot of work.
For the second I have too many imperfect photos and struggling to narrow down which to use!

Being at work in the day is really putting a dampener on keeping up as well, but from last year's experience I know that I manage to pull back well at the weekend.

Is there a particular challenge holding you back from being up to date or is it just time constraints?
 
Nope. Sadly I can't say I'm up to date anymore. I didn't get time to do my page for yesterday's song challenge. I have a good idea in my head, but we had church last night and then I needed to spend time commenting on everyone's fabulous pages for my own challenge and I'm still not caught up. I love that so many people are playing along. :)

I'm going on a scrappy weekend with a friend this weekend though so I know that I'll be caught up in no time.
 
Yup!!! I am now! although I am highly considering doing number 1 over.. I am not a fan of my page :(
 
I'm current... but that is because my DH is helping me! LOL! He knows it's MOC and he prods me to get on the computer a smidge earlier. Usually, I don't get on till later in the evening when the kids go to bed. When we are all relaxing, maybe watching a show, he will ask where my computer is, and what I have as a challenge. He's pretty awesome about my scrapping! Plus, he's helping me with laundry and dinners! :laundry

My boys on the other hand... well, they slow me down a little, lol! Since I start a little earlier, and as I am scrapping, they want to make a page too! :giggle

seriously? where did you order him, he cannot possibly be real?
 
I am up to date. It's the only way I can do it. If I got behind, I would give up ha! My family are amazingly understanding and encouraging though. That really helps :)

I ordered him up in college. We met over a pin ball machine at a fraternity party! Since I was DD that night, I drove his sorry hiney home, and he still owes me! :woohoo HaHa... it's all true, but he's really just a great guy! He has his moments where I could pull out all my hair! :stars
 
Wow, @jk703 What a wonderful husband. Mine doesn't discourage me, but he doesn't fully appreciate the value of scrapbook pages. To be fair, I don't fully appreciate the fun of battling with plastic armies (Warhammer, role playing games, etc).

I AM keeping up so far! :happydance2 I'm about to post my "song" right now. That was my biggest struggle -- just figuring out what I wanted to do -- but I think it's going to turn out to be one of my favorite pages this month. I certainly worked a long time on it! I was so tired when I finished I decided to go to bed and wait until morning to look at it again with fresh eyes before posting. I still love it! :love
 
I am up to date! I'm shocked actually! I didn't think I'd be able to keep up since it usually takes me days to scrap one page. I've been staying up late to get them finished (which I pay for the next day) but it feels great to be up to date so far. We'll see how long I can keep it up though....
 
I am stuck with yesterday's challenge and for some reason I like to go in order. I have acouple ideas written down and have a night at home tonight so I hope to knock out yesterday and today's challenges tonight. It is so fun to look through the gallery and the forum that I've been spending more time doing that than scrapping :)
 
I am sort of on track ... I finished my Inspiration challenge for Day 6 last night, but I'm totally not happy with it, so I plan to redo that tonight. The journaling and song and band are all good, I just don't like the page. AND I need to go back and re-read the instructions because I think I might have mis-read them ...
